Sorry, forgot to address that one -- and it probably should be (and certainly has been, many times) the subject of a thread of its own.On this topic, I've often wondered: has modern conventional wisdom established a point where "bigger≠better" is not helpful? E.g., while 9mm cartridge construction is a proven reliable platform these days, is a .30; a .25? Is it purely a matter of cartridge construction, or are there limitations to the minimum size for effective self defense use?
I support that!I recall in at least one of his Cooper's Corner articles that he advocated issuance of .44 Special revolvers as the weapon of choice for police officers. Noting the propensity for LEOs to spray-fire in confrontations, he thought that the LEOs would be adequately protected by the revolver, and that the general public would be better served by having fewer rounds going down-range.
.
I believe that it means that he was informed of the occurrence/incident/response and he believed the creditability of the source.So what does it mean then?
Ah ha! So there's another bit of technique surpassed through further development.If you find one taken from his left side, you'll see that he hooked his left thumb over his right.
Which is indeed the way the grip was taught at Gunsite when I took API 250 in 2002.chriske said:The photographs of Mr Cooper shooting a 1911 .45 auto are noteworthy:

I do as well, but I never was as good as he was. & never will be.
Gunsite taught the thumbs up grip. The intent was to keep the thumbs off the gun to not influence unwanted pressure.The photographs of Mr Cooper shooting a 1911 .45 auto are noteworthy:
